Jenkins hoping to make history

Gareth Jenkins will remind Wales in a typically passionate speech shortly before kick-off that they have an opportunity to go down in history with a victory over New Zealand on Saturday.

It is 53 years since Wales last beat the All Blacks, and the tourists arrive in Cardiff having dispatched England at Twickenham before back-to-back victories over France.

"We have had three weeks coaching time and preparation. There is an assured self-belief in this group that on our day we are capable of winning," said Jenkins. "We'll have a 20-minute conversation (before the game). The way I coach, the technical process is very important - but we have to have emotional processes as well."

Full-back Kevin Morgan added: "Victory is definitely attainable. They are obviously the best side in the world, it's a big ask, but we've got the capability.

"We'll probably have to play better but you have got to go out there and believe you can win.

"Every team have got weaknesses and flaws, the All Blacks haven't got as many as the rest but they are beatable like everyone else.

"We've got to play as well as we can, and if we do there's no reason why we can't win it."
